Default Mounting Tires

I am in the process of picking up a set of chrome wheels, and am looking for someplace within reasonable driving distance of Crystal Lake to mount them without damage to the lip. Any one know of a good shop in the far n/w burns of chicago?


Thanks

Try the Discount tire up there. A good friend of mine is the store manager. His name is John Carter. Discount tires have the proper equipment to work on vette rims. They are the only ones I trust with the car and with the rims. Tell him Ben Oliva sent you.
